I'll mock your srpm (by uploaded you package on my personnal repository), if you want, i can send you my .cfg modified (which point to my repository) to test it too.
As you want ;)
However set up a local repository is an excelent point too.

One way to do this is to edit the mock config file for the target
dist.  In the yum.conf section, create a new repo (or override the
local one).  For example, I've added this in some of my configs:

[scratch]
name=scratch
baseurl=file:///path/to/repo

Then, put your ocaml packages in /path/to/repo and run createrepo on
that dir to create the metadata that yum needs.  Now when you call
mock it will look in your scratch repo as well as the standard ones
and it should use your updated ocaml packages.
